Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

I LOVED Discovery of Witches and am dying to read more like it. Any suggestions? I can't put my finger on what I loved so much. I like the fact that there were multiple creatures involved. I loved the romance and the fact that the romance was not focused on sex. I liked the historical aspect of it but yet it didn't feel like a history lesson and it also didn't depend on me having a solid knowledge of history in order to understand the story. Does all of that make sense? I hope you all have some good recommendations. I am dying for another great read.

The only thing that I have read that comes close is this series:



It too has more than one supernatural being and has a slight historical element to it. Not as complex or intricate as the All Souls Trilogy but still a really good read.

I've heard people comment that the Elemental Mysteries series, starting with , is quite similar, though I haven't read them myself yet to say if I agree or not.

I think it is similar Nday. In my opinion it is actually better as I was one of the rare few that didn't care for a Discovery of Witches.

Did you read the follow up to ADOW, Shadow of Night?

I don't know if I would say they are similar but I really liked the Elemental Mysteries and would recommend them.

I didn't realize I had A Hidden Fire to read. I might have to try to push it up my TBR now.

I think it is still free on Amazon right now to for the Kindle version.

If Amazon doesn't have it free, Smashwords does and it has all the different ereader version.

Well, besides the sequel Shadow of Night like Kyra said I'd suggest perhaps the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. I know people who liked that series and really like the All Souls books.

The Outlander series doesn't have weres, vamps or demons. It sort of has witches and then the slight paranormal element of time travel. Really I would classify then as more historical than anything else.

They are fabulous reads though but very graphic with the violence and the love scenes (and that is a big part of the series in the later books).

I'm sorry, not very familiar with the Outlander series. I just know there's the historical tie.

But for weres, vamps, and supernatural mixing with humans might be a good place to start.

I would also say it's similar but Elemental Mysteries is much better in some ways. I have read all but the last one and they just kept getting better and better. Make sure you have #2 ready after you read the first one, though. I highly recommend them!

(just being funny! lol)

Da Vinci Code has the same feel of history/fiction
